You can use the leaves fresh or hang the sprigs upside down to dry in a dark, well-ventilated area. If you protect it through the winter, an oregano plant will be productive for a couple of years.

Oregano, either in its fresh or dried form, should be added toward the end of the cooking process, because heat can easily cause a loss of its delicate flavor. Oregano is used widely in Greek, Italian, Spanish, and Mexican cuisines. Its leaves have a characteristic aromatic, warm, and slightly bitter taste. The intensity varies; however, good-quality oregano is so strong that it almost numbs the tongue. Next time you enjoy a slice of Pizza, garnish it with some fresh oregano.
